🇹🇭 Inside Thailand’s Tuk-Tuk Culture ⚠️ The Truth You Never See

We spend a day in Chiang Mai with Mr. Alan, a local tuk-tuk driver who welcomes us into his life. As we ride through the streets together, he shares his story, the challenges of daily life, the moments of joy, and the freedom he finds behind the wheel. Through his words and his eyes, we get a glimpse of what it means to live with simplicity, resilience, and gratitude. It’s not just a look at his job, but a quiet portrait of a man finding meaning in the rhythm of everyday life.

🛺| For sure he would love drive you in and around Chiang Mai whenever you're in the North of Thailand and I can only recommend him as a driver (he can also arrange a car if you want to travel longer distances. Tuk Tuk Alan: +66 82 529 5911
